The entries that are made in the /dev/scsi/changer and
/dev/scsi/sequential directories when you enable the Solaris sgen driver must
be used as Oracle Secure Backup targets for /dev/ob links. These entries vary
depending on the version of Solaris.
It is recommended that you create links in /dev in the form /dev/obln and
/dev/obtn that point to the entries in /dev/scsi/changer or
/dev/scsi/sequential. There must be a unique /dev/obln or /dev/obtn entry
for each device that Oracle Secure Backup utilizes. These entries in /dev will be used
in the obtool mkdev command during Oracle Secure Backup device configuration.
